Chapter 114 With one move, Father Ying hacked the entire internet [2 updates]
This trending topic appeared suddenly, because it appeared in the recommended section below the trending topics box every time the page was refreshed.
It was obviously bought, and for quite a bit of money.
With such a strong push, netizens naturally couldn't possibly miss it.
But the names of the trending topics puzzled them, so they clicked on them one by one.
#Zhong's Group, DK Group, performance-based agreement#
The first trending Weibo post about this hot topic was posted by DK Group.
It is still bilingual in Chinese and English.
[DK Group China Headquarters V: We were originally honored to sign such a large contract with the Zhong Group, and we had great confidence in the Zhong Group's reputation. However, we regret that the Zhong Group has betrayed our trust. But after discussing this matter with the Zhong Group, we have come up with a new solution, and we hope that everyone in China will bear witness.]
The attached image shows the performance-based agreement that DK Group and Zhong's Group signed this afternoon.
At the bottom are the official seals and signatures of the two major groups.
[Holy crap, a betting agreement has been released? The Zhong Group lost, and now they have to give up their century-old jadeite business?]
[I bet a pack of spicy strips that if the Zhong Group can't find Shifangjie, they'll have to give up Jadeite Studio.]
[Tsk tsk, I wonder who has the audacity to sign such a performance-based agreement with the DK Group? Do they think the DK Group is just a small, insignificant company?]
DK Group is not well-known in China. The company's main business is in northern O continent, where it has large-scale transactions with many O countries with developed livestock industries.
In addition to these, the DK Group also has a jade industry, supplying goods to royal families of some medium-sized countries in O continent, as well as some small and medium-sized families.
In terms of scale, it far surpasses the Zhong Group.
[No, haven't you blind students noticed a crucial point? The Zhong Group was at fault to begin with, wasn't it? We don't know which party came up with the betting agreement, but the question is, how could the DK Group possibly offer out a $300 million order?]
A deal worth three hundred million US dollars is something even the most powerful families in the capital city wouldn't be able to secure easily.
Although DK Group is a multinational corporation, it is still much weaker than the big families in the capital. How could it bear to part with it?
"Yes, that's really strange. If the Zhong Group really does find the treasured artifact, wouldn't the DK Group not only get no compensation but also have to pay out 300 million US dollars? Are they crazy?"
[Maybe they just know the Zhong Group can't retrieve their prized possession?]
[Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly filled with dread. Could it be that the treasured possession of Jade Pavilion was taken by the DK Group, who then set a trap to seize Jade Pavilion from the Zhong Group?]
Some keyboard warriors are just bored all day long, spouting conspiracy theories. How much stronger is the DK Group than the Zhong Group? What would they need Jade Pavilion for?
[To put it simply for those who don't understand the betting agreement, if the Zhong Group loses, at least half of its shares will fall into the hands of the DK Group, and the company will change hands sooner or later.]
Because he was busy with company matters, Grandpa Zhong didn't actually go back to the old house to rest as he had promised Ying Zijing, but instead stayed busy at the company.
Grandpa Zhong himself found it strange that even after a busy day, his back and legs didn't ache.
He looked at that group of young people; they all had dark circles under their eyes.
He's not even as good as that old man.
"Chairman Zhong, the situation is not good." The assistant rushed over with a folder in his hand. "The news about the loss of the Ten Directions Realm has been posted on Weibo."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhong's first reaction was: "Our company is so obscure, does it even deserve to be trending on social media?"
Special Assistant: "..."
He was a bit complicated to explain.
However, it must be admitted that this statement makes a lot of sense.
"Let me see." Old Master Zhong picked up his phone, and after reading it, he remained calm. "I already guessed it."
This matter is absolutely related to the DK Group; this trap was set from the very first day they signed the contract.
"How are the stocks?" Grandpa Zhong asked again. "Have they plummeted to rock bottom?"
"No, Chairman Zhong." The assistant scratched his head. "Our stock hasn't fallen; it's still rising."
Grandpa Zhong hissed, "Impossible, right?"
He turned on his computer and checked the stock market, finding that Zhong's Group's stock was indeed still in the green, proving that it hadn't fallen.
Next to the stock name, there was a small "up" indicator.
Is this really a ghost?
Grandpa Zhong fell silent.
"Oh, right, Chairman Zhong," the assistant added, "just now, we suddenly got another big order, worth several hundred million."
He said cautiously, "It's still from O continent, but they said they can pay first, keep the goods, and pick them up later. Do you want to take them?"

The incident continues to escalate on Weibo.
After reading the comments on Weibo, Eugene organized them and pushed open the door to the presidential suite.
He bowed respectfully to the person inside and said, "Boss, everything is arranged properly. The Zhong Group will not have any chance to back out."
With so many witnesses online, if the Zhong Group were to back out again, it would truly be on the verge of collapse.
The man Eugene referred to as "boss" was also a foreign man, but surprisingly young.
“Very good.” The man nodded, a smile appearing on his face. “We’ll have Jadeite Shop in five days.”
"The boss's plan is perfect," Eugene praised sincerely. "Let me sign the contract with the Zhong Group first, and then move the Ten Directions Realm out of the Jade Pavilion. That way, the blame can only fall on them."
The conspiracy theories circulating online and the speculations of Zhong's shareholders are actually quite accurate.
The Ten Directions Realm was indeed stolen from the Jade Pavilion by people sent by the DK Group, and it has already been escorted out of the country.
Even if the Zhong Group could find the Ten Directions Realm, it would be absolutely impossible to do so within five days.
That's why they dared to sign the performance-based agreement.
Once Jadeite Studio is acquired, acquiring the Zhong Group is just a matter of time.
"You did a good job this time." The man took the betting agreement, looked at the signature at the bottom, and frowned slightly. "Who is this Ying... Ying Zijin?"
His Chinese is not standard, and he has difficulty pronouncing his name.
“Don’t worry about it, boss.” Eugene smiled nonchalantly. “She’s not from the Zhong Group. I made some inquiries and she’s the adopted daughter of the Ying family, another powerful family in Shanghai.”
"But Grandpa Zhong said that she could represent the entire Zhong Group, and young people can't withstand the provocation."
In Eugene's view, Ying Zijing signed the betting agreement entirely out of impulse.
However, knowing that DK had a $300 million order shows that they are not so ignorant.
Is this young girl really thinking she can save the Zhong Group?
This is clearly pushing the Zhong Group into a fire.
If the Zhong Group hadn't signed this performance-based agreement, it would have been quite difficult for them to take action against it.
But now that the betting agreement has been signed, they can openly invade the Zhong Group.
The man nodded again: "Very good, I'll be waiting for your good news."

At 11 p.m.
Ying Zijin completed her last bounty mission.
Her growth value finally reached 10,000.
There are many extraordinary people on the NOK forum, but they are all in hidden sections.
The bounties and other tasks on the homepage have pitifully low growth values; many bounties only have 100 growth values.
Ying Zijing felt that she had enough patience and wasn't bothered by the tedious bounty mission.
After the growth value reached 10,000, a window popped up on the forum homepage.
[User ID: Cola Milk Tea Fries, has qualified to join the Hidden Alliance. Would you like to join?]
Hidden Alliance is another name for the hidden section.
Ying Zijing moved the mouse and clicked "Yes".
The moment I pressed the button, the forum homepage changed instantly.
It's simpler, more ordinary, and quite boring.
It's the kind of forum that people wouldn't even bother to click into.
Ying Zijing glanced at the homepage of the hidden section, but didn't look at it much before starting to post a bounty.
[Bounty]
A reward is offered for a piece of the king of kings, an icy jadeite, 0.5 meters wide and 0.75 meters high.
The reward is 80 million, which is equivalent to 7.43 million US dollars.
Delivered to Shanghai, China before 5 PM tomorrow. Coordinates are as follows.
After clicking "Publish," the bounty will appear on the homepage.
However, because her ID is very new, long-time users who frequent the hidden sections usually don't pay attention to it.
While icy jadeite is rare, it is not uncommon.
It is indeed difficult to deliver such a large piece of icy jade to its designated destination within a dozen hours.
So it's very likely that this bounty post will sink completely after a few minutes.
Ying Zijin thought for a moment.
She casually typed a few words on the keyboard and pinned her own bounty post to the top of the screen.
They even thoughtfully marked it in red.
It's no different from what the administrators can do internally.
This is equivalent to hacking the NOK forum.
Hacking the NOK forum is no different from hacking the world's largest intelligence network.
This is something that the leader of an anonymous hacker group has always wanted to do, but has never dared to do, and has never succeeded in doing.
Ying Zijing looked at the bounty she had posted, thought for a moment, and then added a big exclamation mark after the bounty to draw the user's attention.
Almost at the same moment it was pinned to the top, several big shots who were browsing the international forum all noticed the bounty at once!
Ying Zijin: Did any cuties or darlings vote for me with their monthly tickets today?
We're only one place away from sixth place in the new book rankings, not too far off! Let's all cast our votes!
We'll be adding an extra chapter for National Day!
